STOVE-HOOD OR HEAT-COLLECTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,559, dated February23| 1886.

Application filed February 6, 1885. Serial No. 155,156.

.To a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN G. W. F. FLEEM- ING, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Emerson, in the county of Mills and State of Iowa,have inventada new and useful Stove- Hood or Machine for Collecting andTransmitting Surplus Heat from Stoves and Ranges,

of which the following isa specification, to Wit:

My invention relates to certain novel improvements which are applicableto hoods that are arranged over stoves, ranges, and other cookingapparatuses, and designed for conducting off the vapors, smoke, 82e.,rising from the heater itself orfrom articles during the process ofcooking, and discharging the same into a due or uptake; and my inventionconsists in the novel devices, which will be fully understood from thefollowing description, when taken in connection with the anneXeddrawings, in which*- Figure l is a vertical central section through myimproved hood and heatcollector suspended by a collar, and showing ahand-hook for adjusting the registervalves in the removable bottom G.Fig. 2 is a bottom View of the device. Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofthe hanger; and Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail in section, showing theseveral registenvalves.

A designates the hood proper, which is preferably the lrustum of apyramid, and made of any suitable capacity adapted to collect heat orvapors, &c., rising from a stove or range or other heater over which itis arranged. From the top of this hood rises afiue or pipe, B, rigidlysecured to it, and provided with a regulating damper or valve, O.

D designates an elbow-pipe section, which may be connected to the upperend of the pipe B by means of pins e and bayonet -slots d, or by anyother suitable means which will allow a ready detachment of said partswhen desired.

F designates a suspension-band for the device, which band is composed oftwo semicircular parts, connected by a hinge at b and by a hook-and-eyefastening, c. This band is designed to clasp the horizontal part of thesaid elbow D, and, by means of a screw or spike inserted into a ceiling,to sustain the hood in proper position overastove, range, or otherheater.

G designates the bottom for the hood A, which is adapted to fit snuglythe lower end of this hood, as shown in Fig. l, and to be removablysecured to it by means of pins g.

(No model.)

This hood-bottom G is constructed with beveled or u pwardly-convergingflanges G', which ador-d close contact-bearings for the said bottomagainst the inclined sides of the hood, and also receive the inner endsof the removable connecting-pins g, above referred to. The bottom plate,G, is constructed with outwardly-fiaring draftpassages h, which radiatefrom a common central pivot, 7c, as shown in Figs. l and 4, and from anouter angle ofeach draft-passage h is an offset, j, for a purposehereinafter explained. These passages h are what are known asregister-holes;77 but, instead of using a single circularly-movableregister plate, Iemploy, say, threeindependently movableregistersegments which are movable about the said common pivot, k. Itwill thus be seen that I am able to adj ust each register-plateindependently of the others, and for this reason I can direct the risingvapors or heated air through any one or more of the draft-passages It.Each one of the said regis ter segments or valves H is provided with ahook, t', adapted to receive, for convenience, a hand-hook, N, (shown inFig. 1,) by means of which the val ves can be adj usted. The necks orstems of the hooks t' are received in the short offsets j, when theirvalves are fully open.

1t is obvious from the above description that the bottom or removableportion, G, of the hood A serves the purpose of a heat-defiector, whichwill radiate into the room a large amount of heat. In the summer seasonthis deflector may be removed to allow the heat to freely escape throughthe hood and fines, or at any time, when the said detlecting-bottom isattached to the hood, the exitof the heated air can be nicely regulatedby adjusting the valve-segments H and the valve O in the pipe B.

Having described my invention, I claim- 1. The combination, with astove-hood, of a removable bottoni provided with openings andindependent valves for closing the same, substantially as specified.

2. The combination, with a stove-hood, of a bottom provided withopenings and independent valves for closing the same, substantially asspecified.
